Yeah. A couple of years after I first read it, I wrote a coursework essay about the unreliable narrator, using Lolita and Pale Fire as my primary texts (the latter also by Nabokov). What's the problem with that? I'm assuming you've not read either if you're getting this outraged, lol

Lolita, The French Lieutenant's Woman, IT. All books I read as a teen with explicit sexual content...

Sounds like something an Emacs user would say

Disregarding the trivial exceptions... waves hands

Is it worth reading? I've played Witcher 3 and saw the first (sometimes good, sometimes shit) series of the show, but never read any...

Maybe you're trying to match individuals to dissemination, idk man neither of us were there

I nearly dismissed your review until you qualified your assessment of onion rings. I have transposed the order on those first two myself

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Onion rings top, then tots, then everything else

Easy enough. Tells you what languages are supported. Also helps you debug a bad language label. Although does have the disadvantage that you still need the name of every language in every language (the existing state) and you don't get to suddenly sqrt your data requirements for storing that

Literate programming as an ideal works at very very high level and very very low level. Plumbing code often doesn't benefit from comments at all, and is the usually the most subject to refactoring. Code by amateurs/neophytes is often not gonna be written in such a way that a clear description of the intention or mechanics is achievable by the coder. Unobtainable standard, smh. I like comments with a 'why' at the top and a 'what' at the bottom (of the stack. I'm talking about abstraction layers. Why am I doing this piece of logic in the code you can clearly understand at the top, what the fuck am I doing these weird shenanigans with a fucking red-black tree of all things in this low level generic function)

Yeah, and the comment you just replied to said: why not both? Language name in language up front, and language name in current language in parens. I think it's a neat idea and absolutely would support that as a standard.
